Abstract
A walker for aiding an individual rising from or returning to a seated position is disclosed. The walker comprises a frame structure including a first side frame having a first anterior leg and a first posterior leg, a second side frame having a second anterior leg and a second posterior leg, and a center frame connecting the first side frame and the second side frame. The walker further includes a first support assembly attached to the first anterior leg of the first side frame, the first support assembly including a first support handle being rotatable in a plane substantially perpendicular to the axis of the first anterior leg. Thus, the first support handle is effective in aiding the individual rising from or returning to the seated position.
